The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Atsvea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, deadly medical pandemics, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.335 billion Bats are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bat economy, worth an astonishing 14,305 trillion Candy Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 875,773 Candy Gold Bars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,139,409 per year while the poor average 69,713, a ratio of 73.7 to 1.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Atsvea's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Atsvea is ranked 290,605th in the world and 331st in Forest for Safest, scoring 2.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
